In the draft Decree replacing the Decree 86/2014 / ND-CP dated September 10, 2014 of the Government on conditions for transportation by cars, there were many inappropriate, inadequate and prohibited administrative contents, these caused difficulties for enterprises as well as intervened deeply in the business of enterprises. The replaced draft Decree did not simplifying, reducing business conditions but increasing many unreasonable business conditions, didnot handling and addressingproblems, difficulties and obstacles of enterprises.
Specifically werethe following Articles:
This was a civil agreement between a transport business and a bus stationcompany, the State management agency should not intervene because when the transport businessoperated at a bus station, it must sign a contract with the bus station company.
This regulation wasin contrary to Article 12 "Rights and obligations of advertisers" of the Advertising Law No. 16/2012 / QH 13, businesses had the right to advertise services and products of their businesses. This was a truly unreasonable condition that prohibited and limited the freedom of business.
The above provisions were the conditions that show prohibition, cause difficulties for businesses, limited the freedom of businessas well as limit services provision of business units. Because, if the head offices, branch offices or representative offices of the businesses had enough areas, it was eligible to stop the buses to pick up and drop passengers without affecting traffic safety and not violating the Law, Why these were banned? This regulation completely limited the right to do business and serve passengers of the transportcompany, because passengers who come to the offices or branches of the companywere not allowed to receive the company's bus, but must be received by another company.
Why should each vehicle not exceed 30% of the total number of vehicles that have the same starting and ending points?
For example: We only had 1 car, signed a contract with 1 company every month to bring passengersfrom Tan Son Nhat airport to Vung Tau about 15 trips / month, now with this regulation we must buy more cars and find more passengers to make sure my car did not run more than 30% of the total number of trips in that vehicle in the same month with departure and ending points or we must go bankrupt.
This regulation would increase the cost of companies, cause difficulties for companies andleaded to the situation that small companies and business households werebankrupted. Bigcompanies had many vehicles, which were widely operated, they can legalize this condition by rotating their cars from one point to another.
This regulation madean increaseof administrative procedures for businessesor must specify more.The information reported by transport business unitswas confidential related to business secrets of transport business units. The Department of Transport may only provided this information to competent state management agencies to avoid this information provided outside or disclosed to competitors.
For example: In the case of the Thanh Buoi Co., Ltd, the companyhad reported to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, then Ho Chi Minh Department of Transportprovided full information, number of passengers, number of buses of theThanh Buoi Company for the Transport Newspaper and then, theTransport Newspaperinformed to competitors of the Thanh Buoi Company.
7. Point b, Clause 6, Article 11: "Must use drivers with at least 02 years of experience in controllingbussesof transporting passengers with a design tonnage of 30 seats (including drivers) or more to control buses of transporting passengersincluded two-story beds. ”
This was a condition that restricted the labor rights of workers and this regulation was not suitable because currently there were two-story bedbuses with only 16 seats and 20 seats, why was it required drivers having at least 2 years experience in controlling 30-seat busesor more in order to control two – story bed buswith 20-seats?. It was a ridiculous provision and in contrary to Article 59 of the Road Traffic Act No. 23/2008 / QH12 stipulating a driver's license.
In Article 522, 523 of the Civil Code No. 91/2015 / QH13 has stipulated: " Contract for transport of passengers means an agreement between parties whereby a carrier transports passengers and luggage to an agreed destination and the passengers must pay transport fares.
"1. A contract for transport of passengers may be made in writing or orally
So the draft Decree should not included regulations on the transport contract.
"c) Within a period of 3 consecutive months, if there is an average of 20% or more of the number of transport business drivers handled and deprived the driving license for a definite time by competent authoritiesbecause of violations.
This was in contrary to Point d, Clause 1, and Article 3 of the Law on handling of administrative violations. "Only sanctioning administrative violations when there are administrative violations prescribed by law and an act of administrative violation is only penalized once”
Moreover, the above provisions defined violations of individuals (drivers), but penalized organizations and companies "Tangerine does, orange received" that affect the operation of businesses and other non-violators. If sanctioned as the above, due to an individual's fault (driver),but it affected the jobs of thousands of other drivers who did not violate that experience.
The above provisions had no clear purpose thatcause difficulties for competent agencies to handle, or handle asynchronously with each other, each place handle according to eachtype, it wasneeded to define,how was"serious phrase"?
The Thanh Buoi Co., Ltd wished the competent agencies to advise the Government to issue changing policies to create favorable conditions for companies to operate in a favorable, developed and lawful manner.
